BestStart St Andrews 37 Sunshine Avenue, Te Rapa, Hamilton, Waikato 3200

Welcome to BestStart St Andrews, located on Sunshine Avenue in Hamilton, New Zealand. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive.

At BestStart St Andrews, we believe in the power of strong partnerships with families. We understand the importance of creating a strong connection between home and center, working together to support each child's learning and development. We value the aspirations of whaanau/families and work closely with them to achieve their goals.

Our community connections are also an integral part of our center. By collaborating with organizations such as the SPCA and Bunnings, we create opportunities for children to make connections between their home life and center life, fostering a sense of belonging and community.

Our center boasts generous indoor and outdoor spaces, providing children with ample opportunities for play, exploration, and engagement. Our skilled teaching team creates learning experiences that are tailored to the age and stage of each child, reflecting their strengths and interests. We are committed to supporting the professional growth of our teachers through regular professional development opportunities.

With three age-based learning rooms, we cater to the changing needs of our tamariki as they grow. In our nursery, we provide a personalized learning environment that follows each baby's individual routines from home. Our toddler room encourages exploration and independence, while our Tuatara room prepares children for the transition to school through our Get Set for School program.

But don't just take our word for it – hear what our parents have to say! From praising our outstanding safety procedures to expressing gratitude for the welcoming and friendly staff, our parents consistently commend the quality of care and education their children receive at BestStart St Andrews.

We also believe in the power of messy play, which is why you'll often find our tamariki engaging in activities like Gloop. Messy play not only allows children to have fun but also supports their learning through sensory exploration.

Come and experience the joy, adventure, and excitement of BestStart St Andrews. Together, we can grow great and create a positive foundation for your child's future.
